SHE WEARS MY RING
"La Golondrina" - The Swallow 一曲從拉丁美洲西班牙語區流行之外, 在美國流行樂壇, 作詞家 Felice & Boudleaux Bryant 夫婦, 取樂譜並撰寫成另一曲經典; 雖然與原曲西班牙文歌詞內容完全不同, 這版本又是大多樂迷認識, 在很多婚禮儀式或宴會的經典作品。
撰上英文歌詞的 "She Wears My Ring", 有記載首唱是收錄在 Jimmy Sweeney 1960年面世的唱片, 之後的翻唱版本有多個, 直至1974年, Elvis Presley 的演繹, 再次被樂迷關注, 但是, 至今不同歌手的錄音, 有記錄的衹有二十多個而已。

SHE WEARS MY RING - Jimmy Sweeney - Debute Version - November 1960
Lyric : Felice & Boudleaux Bryant
She wears my ring to show the world that she belongs to me
She wears my ring to show the world she's mine eternally
With loving care I placed it on her finger
To show my love for all the world to see
This tiny ring is a token of tender emotion
An endless pool of love that's as deep as the ocean
She swears to wear it with eternal devotion
That's why I sing, because she wears my ring
She swears to wear it with eternal devotion
That's why I sing, because she wears my ring
This tiny ring is a token of tender emotion
An endless pool of love that's as deep as the ocean
She swears to wear it with eternal devotion
That's why I sing, because she wears my ring
That's why I sing, because she wears my ring
